Two idiots finally led the war to Asia. One is Cambodia, which is so poor that it still fantasizes about being king and hegemony, and the other is Thailand, whose internal affairs are in a mess, and it also fantasizes about being a god in World War I. To put it bluntly, if she and the others really want to fight, they may be the most "low-profile" in contemporary times. The border conflict, if it doesn't sound nice, India and Pakistan will dump them two streets away!
The border disputes between Thailand and Cambodia have roots in the colonial era. In 1904 and 1907, France signed treaties with Siam, but the border was vaguely drawn and the Temple of Preah Vihear was stuck in the middle. This temple was built in the 11th century, a relic of the Angkor Dynasty, on a high cliff overlooking the plains. In 1954, Thai troops moved in to replace the French soldiers, and Cambodia sued the International Court of Justice.
In 1962, the Hague court ruled that the temple should belong to Cambodia, and Thailand agreed on the surface, but the dispute over the surrounding land was endless. Since then, the minor friction has not broken, and Thai soldiers have occupied the highland, as Cambodia has repeatedly stated. In 2008, Cambodia applied for World Heritage Site, Thailand protested, and armed confrontation broke out, killing dozens of people and displacing thousands of villagers. In 2011, the dispute burned to Tamuentom Temple, and the artillery fire lasted for several weeks before the ASEAN fight stopped.
At the end of May 2025, a Cambodian soldier was killed during the Emerald Triangle patrol. Thai media said that the other party crossed the border, and Cambodia pointed out that Thailand took the lead. At the beginning of June, Hong Mane publicly asked for a new appeal from the International Court of Justice, and Thailand insisted on bilateral talks and refused to control the court. In early July, there were many patrol collisions, Thailand laid mines, Cambodia cleared obstacles, relations between the two countries collapsed, and diplomatic notes flew around.
On 23 July, Thailand's Uurban Air Force sent a rocket to patrol the province of Uttar Pradesh, where five soldiers were killed, and Thailand pointed to Cambodia's Uttar Pradesh district, summoned ambassadors and expelled diplomats. On 24 July, the Thai Air Force fired around Tamun Tom, the monuments were damaged, Cambodia returned, fighting to twelve countries. The aircraft fired artillery, the civilian casualties increased, Pumtan ordered increases, and Cambodia violations to the Security Council.
On the 25th, the Security Council closed, fifteen countries called for restraint, Malaysia pushed for mediation. On the same day, more than three hundred million villagers were evacuated. On the 26th, Trump’s telephone was discontinued, the fire broke out. On the 27th, the peak, Thailand bombed, Cambodia drone rebel, Thailand’s position was lost, civilians died thirty-eight.
This farce essentially spilled out of civil strife between the two countries. Thailand's political arena is rotten, and the military handles diplomacy and many coups; Cambodia has a weak economy, poor military strength, and its sovereignty is firmly guarded. The boundary should have been demarcated earlier, but the soldiers died in vain and the people suffered. The roads and troops around the temple are moving, but they are provocative for development. From the perspective of China, the United States and ASEAN, China is neutral, supports the ASEAN approach, and dispatches special efforts.
The conflict originated in history, and Thailand and Cambodia were generally blocked by colonial lines. In 2025, the Thai Air Force exploded with the F-16, Cambodia’s drones, rocket bombings, 38 people killed, many civilians. ASEAN rotated Malaysia, US Trump phone threatened tariffs, pushed China for dialogue. After the ceasefire, border villagers returned, the economy was damaged, trade stopped.
